Official poster officially officialised

The poster for 'The Mind Job' is complete and ready for the back of your bathroom door. And right on time for our screening next Wednesday.
Big thanks to photographer Danny Eastwood from The Pool Collective for the shoot. Thanks also to Olivia Keros for wardrobe, Alexis Lynch for hair and makeup and of course our stars Matthew Moore, Krew Boylan and Lorna Lesley.
Proper!

IT'S FINISHED!!! The Mind Job is in the bag.

It's not often I use three exclamation marks in a row, but I've been saving those ones up since Christmas.

I am sitting at Fanatic Films where the final film files are being transferred to various drives in various formats for me to take away.
We just watched it all through and it looks and sounds great. The music has been added to the sound mix which has been put with the finally graded picture and layed down with the opening titles and end credits.
It's done. It's complete. What a feeling. I need a drink.

I have to say a massive thanks to the following companies for being less like companies and more like just an amazing bunch of incredible people:
Method Studios for the offline edit and grade.
Silencio for the original music score.
Sound Reservoir for the sound design and final sound mix.
Monogram for the awesome titles and end credit designs.
Jessica Nosworthy for bringing the credits to life with such flair.
And finally Fanatic Films for the online edit, the visual effects, compositing and the putting it all back together again.
Much love.

After-party. Sorted.

Folks,
we have the perfect venue lined up for our after party next Wednesday night. Just over the road from the Chauvel is the salubrious Imperial Hotel, and we have the entire second floor to ourselves.

It's about 100m door to door, so you have no excuses for taking a wrong turn and ending up in your slippers.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday night. And please feel free to bring your friends along.

Sydney Film Festival opening night

While you guys were all milling about in your lounge-rooms last Wednesday night, Krew Boylan, Matthew Moore and I were working our asses off on the red carpet. We were toiling to lay down a solid foundation of 'buzz' and 'hype' for the upcoming launch of our film... though we didn't actually have a film to show just yet.

You can catch a glimpse of our efforts here:

Go forward to 01:10 to skip the B-listers and get straight to the As.
